What is uncredited faith @Van?

@Van from what you are saying it seems like you think God has to think about it and decide if the persons faith is good enough or real and then credits it as righteousness.

It is not the name of the view but the view itself that matters Ken. You have set yourself against the word of God. Rom_1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, 1Co_15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel...

You are just following the calvinist line not the word of God Ken. By grace we are saved through faith not unto faith as you are saying.

You can say you follow the bible but what you post shows that you are in disagreement with the word of God.

Your view is not what we find in scripture Ken. Your view has people saved prior to them even trust in God. So at least now I can say with certainty that you are a calvinist although your want to call it SG. “A cardinal point of Reformed theology is the maxim: ‘Regeneration precedes faith.’...

But you do follow calvinist philosophy. Your own posts show that Ken.

Is your faith based on you freely trusting in God for your salvation or were you regenerated so that you could believe? I just say your answer to @Charlie24 so it is not actually your faith but one that you think was given to you. That is calvinism 101. So your sovereign grace is just another...

Have to burst your bubble Z. My faith is not dependent on what Van or JonC think or say. I have told you more than once that I trust the word of God but that just goes over your head. You on the other hand have used man to support your view rather than the bible. So take a look in the mirror...

@Zaatar71 You call the WCF/LBCF solid confessions but I see them as flawed efforts by men too support a particular theological view that is at odds with the word of God. You can trust your man-made philosophy and I will trust the word of God.

If one is justified then they are saved Ken. Are you making the claim you were saved B4 creation? Ken you have no way of knowing if your faith is real. It could be just to make your time in hell worse. This is from the same web site as B4 We also adopt as a fuller expression of our faith...

Well that is one thing in your favor. Yes God loves all those that have freely trusted in Him and are thus elect. You do realize that Paul is quoting from Mal 1:2-3 Three things to note re this verse: one this is National not personal two it deals with service not salvation three it deals...

But you have to hope that the faith and salvation you think you have is actually true. Remember you had nothing to do with it and even your repentance and faith had to be done for you or given to you. How could you know that you are regenerate? The only true test is to persevere to the end in...

Ken you can quote scripture that I agree with, but that is not the issue, It is your calvinist flawed theory of divine determinism that places God in the position of being responsible for all the evil. It is your WCF/LBCF that state that clearly so when you refer to scripture for support you...

Ken you are almost right but that also means you are wrong. God does not make you believe or make you willing. Why do you need to commit your salvation to Christ as according to the calvinist view you were saved B4 creation. Even the repentance and faith you claim is not your own as it had to...

@Zaatar71 Here is a quote from a prominent teacher. Do you agree or disagree with what is said? We begin with two assumptions or presuppositions: (1) that the Bible is true and that it is, in fact, our only absolute standard of truth; (2) that the God who is spoken of in the Bible exists...

What does JonC's view have to do with mine Z? I call you a calvinist because that is what your posts point you out as being. Which confession do you want Z WCF God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to...

Well I can say without any fear of contradiction, that you are not perfect @KenH. Pride is a sin and you exhibit that in your posts. So by your standard you will be rejected when you stand before God at the judgement.

Can God give man an actual free will with which to make real choices for which he will be judged? What do we see in scripture @JesusFan. Eph 2:8 For it is by grace {how one is saved} you have been saved through faith,..{the reason one is saved} That one verse answers both of your questions...

Now you are trying to cover your tracks Tea. What you worry about has no impact on what you wrote Tea. When you used "IF" in your sentence it became a conditional sentence Tea. If you do not understand that what you wrote was a conditional sentence that may just explain why you have...
